Integrated movement models for individual tracking and species distribution data by Frances E. Buderman, Ephraim M. Hanks, Viviana Ruiz‐Gutierrez, Michael Shull, Robert K. Murphy, David A. W. Miller

“…In addition, the integrated approach (a) improves accuracy of other estimated movement parameters, (b) allows us to estimate the proportion of migratory and non‐migratory birds in a given location and time, and (c) estimate future spatiotemporal distributions of birds given a wintering location, which provide estimates of seasonal connectivity and migratory routes. …”

Sonic hedgehog and fibroblast growth factor 8 regulate the evolution of amniote facial proportions by Marta Marchini, Greta Keller, Naaz Khan, Rushabh Shah, Adriana Saliceti Galarza, Katherine B. Starr, Alexandra Apostopoulos, Thomas J. Sanger

“…Major differences in skull shape are established early in development, at a critical developmental interval spanning the initial outgrowth and fusion of the facial processes. In birds, this is orchestrated by domains of Shh and Fgf8 expression, known as the frontonasal ectodermal zone (FEZ). …”
